[QUOTE="Michael O'Connor, post: 1467873, member: 103722"] I certainly think you are right. New and old cartridge design is important in current magazine length. I am not into "heavy rifle" but do concern myself with battle rifles and standard length magazines in production rifles, and even switch barrel designs. I have opted to disregard the 7mm Blaser Magnum in the past, but due to it's powder capacity, neck length, and modern shoulder angle; I consider it a great design in a case for 3.340" length COAL magazines with 1.5 to 1.55", 7mm bullets. You can get great velocity from 151 grain Warner Flatline Bullets and 180 Berger Hybrids, with a nice long neck for throat protection and a 30° shoulder too, for less case growth. I truly wish I knew Rich Sherman years ago; as I would agree with current magazine length and keep everything standardized for more efficient cartridge development without having to customize rifle design for longer COAL with high B.C. bullets. Anybody can drill a barrel, but optimization of case design is more important than changing practiced action length in production standards. I do like intermediate action Tikka for certain cases, but that doesn't help "battle rifle" or standard Semi-auto current design. [/QUOTE]
